This is an Anki addon that synchronizes content across multiple notes. To see the source code, request a feature, or report a bug, visit the GitHub repository here.
Usage
There are two modes of synchronization: unidirectional and bidirectional.
Unidirectional mode
To use the unidirectional mode, first retrieve a note ID of a note. This can be done using Ctrl+Shift+I shortcut in the browser.
To include the content of a note on another note, use the following syntax.
<span class=“sync” note=“1702531901010”> content </span>
The block needs to be inserted in a raw form into the card. Use Ctrl-Shift-X when focused on the field to insert raw HTML.
Inside the plugin’s folder, there is user_files/templates folder containing templates used for generating the content. Content in a sync block is generated based on the type of source note. For the default Anki note types, examples are provided inside the folder. For custom note types, add a new template file with the name of a note type.
The sync blocks are synchronized when the field is unfocused and when a collection is synchronized. As there is a single source of truth, no conflicts can arise.
Bidirectional mode
To use the bidirectional mode, wrap the content inside a sync element like this. Again, the wrapping has to be done inside the window editing the raw text.
<span class=“sync”> content </span>
A unique sync ID is generated for the sync block when the field is unfocused.
<span class=“sync” sid=“1655457568076_2_8406”> content </span>
To reference the content on another note, insert the span block where necessary.
<span class=“sync” sid=“1655457568076_2_8406”></span>
The sync blocks are synchronized when the field is unfocused. In case of a conflict, either a pop-up is shown requesting a resolution, or the contents of a sync block are uploaded to other sync blocks in a collection. The behavior can be controlled by setting bidir_unfocus_action value in the plugin’s config to ask or upload, respectively.
Example config
Below is an example plugin config.
{ “bidir_unfocus_action”: “upload” }
